....remember before DA came out everyone was upset that the player character wasn't voiced, now everyone is upset that he is voiced.



People are going to complain with every decision.

So let me get this straight-

Because the lead is voiced and they're thinking about implementing a ME style dialogue system, suddenly its Mass Effect?

You people. Really? Come on now.

Mass Effect has been more successful across the board the DA:O has been, why wouldn't they shift the franchise more in line with what works best?

Uhhhh no. Dragon Age: Origins topped the sales past Mass Effect 2

I just don't see why BioWare feels the need to fix something that isn't broken.

I think it is just the expectation in this day and age that everything be voiced.  I am starting to like the performances of the voice actors but I will miss the flexibility and variety of text dialog.  I mean adding a new quest used to just mean writing out some new dialog and drawing a few new areas.  Now you have to do a freaking casting call.  It also really cripples the ability for modded content to fit seamlessly.

Even the MMO TOR is going to be fully voiced which strikes me as ridiculous.

I just died a little on the inside after reading that. I hope this is something they only plan on doing for DA2 and not DA3

Wrong.  This is one of those ridiculous myths.

Am I the only one thinking that a voiced protagonist implies a much shorter story?

I think it was obvious this was going to be a much shortest story then what DA:O had before it was even announced. It needed to happen though, Origins had way to much BS filler content artificially propping up the game time.

I was going to say the same thing. They can't catch a break no matter what.

That would please me if true but we shall see what it looks like in the end.  After all DA:O has been out for alot longer than ME2.

Well yeah, a voiced PC was the whole reason for gutting character creation and RP options in the first place, not the other way around. Expect many more sacrifices to appease the ADD crowd that can't be bothered to read a few lines of dialogue, let alone anything more mentally demanding.

It's a pity that they feel the need to introduce yet another voiced PC.That's one of the (many) reasons why I've always enjoyed KotOR and NWN over ME.

Bioware you lost yourself a fan, and a sale. Your changing EVERYTHING good about Dragon age.There is nothing even wrong with Dragon age Origins.Why put so much effort into something that has Little or less to do with Are story in origins.



Your making all of are choices for us now.

****** of EA money grabbing ...........

I'm happy. Silent protagonists are no better than cardboard cutouts.

well thank god the main character in dragon age wasn't silent. Mine talked quite a lot. And she had a nice voice, exactly the right one and she said things with exactly the intonation i intended.

very unlike Shepard who for some odd reason started to flirt with Jacob against my will

[Cloud Windfoot Omega]

well this is not origins anymore, but i would have thought you could have transferred your character over and they could have voiced them giving a different game experience for each race. but i dont want to put the game down before its even released.

[Phitos]

Wrong.  This is one of those ridiculous myths.

This article says something different.

I think it probably was was the reason to limit it to human only.  We will see to what extent it guts or limits options further.

Personally I don't mind a fully voiced Hawke, in fact I think the possibilities are endless with it. They hit the nail on the head with:

"It also eliminates those awkward scenarios where you feel like your character should be reacting, but instead just stares blankly without so much as a grunt..."

The only thing I'm worried about is that the Voice Actor might not be good enough for the role. If someone like Jennifer Hale were to voice Hawke that'd be great but I remember male Sheppard's voice being cringe worthy *shudder*. It's one thing to have a throw-away or main character who you don't have to talk to having a bad VA, but if the main character sounds bad you have listen to it the whole game.

I'd say I'll wait until the trailer to decide on whether a VA for Hawke is a good thing but I know there will be no fem Hawke voice shown, probably, until release of the game.

That article says nothing about Mass Effect 2, only Mass Effect and KOTOR.  But it is very encouraging.  Glad to see a more traditional RPG can be a financial success.

[GreenSoda]

Not a fan of this. Not at all.



Dialogue wheel is probably also going to make an appearance. Yuck.

I'm pretty sure Leliana's Song was a test run or a bridge to get us use to this dialog system.

That had even less options than Mass Effect, that may be a limit of the DLC or a sign of things to come.

Lets hope not !

That's Mass Effect *1*, a single-platform game.

ME2, as others have noted, shipped 2 million units in two weeks...

I would've preferred a silent protagonist, but I refuse to be disheartened by this news. I only hope the voice actors are superb, as in Jennifer Hale and not Mark Meer.

[Paromlin]

Not good, not good at all.

Bioware should stop thinking they're a movie-making studio. *nausea prevents him from writing any further*
